Ageneiosus is a genus of driftwood catfishes found mostly in South America with one species extending into Central America.
Thirteen species in this genus are recognized: [1] [2]
Ancistrus is a genus of nocturnal freshwater fish in the family Loricariidae of order Siluriformes, native to freshwater habitats in South America and Panama. Fish of this genus are common in the aquarium trade where they are known as bushynose or bristlenose catfish. In the aquarium hobby they are often referred to as bushynose or bristlenose plecos instead, but this may lead to confusion as "pleco" usually is used for Hypostomus plecostomus and its allies and is often used as a catchall term for any loricariids remotely resembling that species.
The driftwood catfishes are catfishes of the family Auchenipteridae. The two genera of the former family Ageneiosidae have been placed here, resulting in a grouping of about 125 species in about 22 genera.
Baryancistrus is a genus of freshwater Loricariid catfish. They inhabit flowing sections of rivers, especially clearwater, in the basins of the Amazon and Orinoco in Brazil and Venezuela. The largest species reach up to 34 cm (13 in) in total length.
Rineloricaria is a genus of freshwater tropical catfish belonging to the family Loricariidae. They are commonly called whiptail catfish because of the long filament that grows out of the tip of the caudal fin that is characteristic of the genus. With the exception of R. altipinnis from Panama, they are native to the rivers of northern and central South America. Some species are regularly seen in the aquarium trade.
Scoloplax is the only genus in the catfish family Scoloplacidae, the spiny dwarf catfishes.
Spectracanthicus is a genus of suckermouth armored catfish endemic to the Tapajós, Xingu and Tocantins river basins in Brazil where often found in fast-flowing waters. The largest species in the genus reaches up to 13 cm (5.1 in) in standard length. They feed on algae and small invertebrates.
Harttia is a genus of armored catfishes native to South America.
Loricaria is a genus of armored catfish native to South America.
Entomocorus is a genus of catfishes of the family Auchenipteridae.
Tympanopleura is a genus of driftwood catfishes found mostly in South America with one species extending into Central America.
Chaetostoma, also known as the bristlemouth catfish, is a genus of suckermouth armored catfishes native to South America with one species, C. fischeri, extending into Panama. Most species inhabit flowing rivers in the lower Andes and its foothills. Some species are kept in unheated aquaria.
Tatia is a genus of small South American catfishes belonging to Auchenipteridae, the driftwood catfish family.
Centromochlus is a genus of fish in the family Auchenipteridae native to South America.
Ageneiosus inermis is a species of driftwood catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found throughout South America, from Colombia and Venezuela to Uruguay and northern Argentina.
Tympanopleura atronasus is a species of catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found in the Amazonas River.
Tympanopleura brevis is a species of driftwood catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found on the Amazon basin.
Tympanopleura piperata is a species of driftwood catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found on the Essequibo River, Guyana.
Tympanopleura rondoni is a species of driftwood catfish of the family Auchenipteridae. It can be found on the Amazon basin.
Baryancistrus hadrostomus is a species of catfish in the family Loricariidae. It is native to South America, where it occurs in the Jari River basin. The species was described in 2019 by Renildo Ribeiro de Oliveira, Lúcia Rapp Py-Daniel, and Osvaldo Takeshi Oyakawa alongside the species Baryancistrus micropunctatus on the basis of coloration and other characteristics. Its color pattern is noted to be unique when compared with its congeners.

The species was described in 2019 by Renildo Ribeiro de Oliveira, Lúcia Rapp Py-Daniel, and Osvaldo Takeshi Oyakawa alongside the species Baryancistrus hadrostomus on the basis of coloration and other characteristics. Its color pattern is noted to be similar to that of its congener Baryancistrus longipinnis, which occurs in the Tocantins River basin.
